Makhaz Advia (Sources of Drugs)

Preface
As a teacher, it has all along been my feeling that Ilmul Advia (Unani Pharmacology) is neglected in the under graduate course according to need of the students as students admitted in BUMS are from Senior Secondry School with Science and Biology (PCB). Although there is prescribed course for the subject in the CCIM curriculum. Keeping this fact in mind, this is an endevour to present the more important and common aspect of this highly specialised subject in a concise and compact form, so that it may not be a time consuming affair to go through the book. In order to build up a liking and a basis for Ilmul Advia (Unani Pharmacology). Particular emphasis has been placed on classification of Drugs, Single Drugs, which are described in short but potencial. Cosidering the requirement of the undergraduate candidates for the purpose of understanding the drugs, their botanical names, regional names are given and with that their parts used are also mentioned. A chapter on Single drugs also has been introduced so that student may know action and uses of certain drugs with their Mizaj (Temperament) and vernaculars in Indian regional languages. It is my pleasure to express my indebtness to certain works from which I have gathered ideas and illustrations. Khazaenatul Advia, Alkanoon fit tib, Al havi, Qawanin Advia, www.mobot.com, www.botany.com, www.laona project.org and so many other books and other websites. In last I would like to thank my all colleagues for support and particularly Dr. Mohd Akram lecturer in F/O Medicine Jamia Hamdard for valuable help in editing this book.

Mavaleed Salasa: There are three sources of drugs, which are used
in Unani system of Medicine. These are Botanical, Animal and Geological or mineral. Botanical Source: All the plants, which may be used as drug. These may be herbs, shrubs and trees. Herbs may be used as whole or part there of. Shrubs and trees are used in different ailment in form of their parts, like juice, root, stem, branch, leaf, flower, fruit, seed, gum, bark, latex etc. Animal Source: Animal or their parts are used as medicine, obtained from this source. As canthradines, pigeon, head of sparrow, gall bladders of some birds, horn, nails, fats, secretions etc. Geological Sources: Substance obtained from earth either in pure or impure from are used medicinally these may be in form of matter like gold, Silver, Copper, iron, coal, salts etc.

Drug, Diet and their Classification

Drug: Drug is any substance or product that is used intended to be used to modify or explore physiological system or pathological states for the benifit of the reciepient. (WHO) A medicinal substance used in the treatment of disease. (Taber) Establishes its effect with its kefiyat (quality). (Allama Qarshi) Diet: The substances, when introduced in body are affected by body and breaks into constituents. Their constituents are able to give replacement of different part of body for.ex. Proteins fats, carbohydrate, vitamins etc. Difference between Drug and Diet: Drug acts due to its kefiyat (quality) and establishes its effect and eliminate. It does not become a part of body, like Mako (Solanum nigrum), Afsanteen (Artemesia absynthium) etc. these drugs due to their particular property reduces inflammation of liver. On the other hand diet becomes part of body and only unabsorbed part is eliminated from body. For.ex. Wheat, rice, egg and other protein, fat etc. are broken in their parts and help in repairing or maintaining body system. 1

In short it can be said that diet becomes part of body and produces replacement. Drugs act with its property and do not become a part of body.

Dawae Ghizai (Nutritious Drug) Ghizae Dawae (Medicinal Diet), Zulkhassa (Specific Drug)
There are so many drugs, which we also use as diet. With the drug effects, they also furnish replacement like, Mentha, Lettuce, etc. these drugs act with their properties to cure some diseases and also give replacement to organs. Some other things, which are used as diet also, act as drug in little. Like Wheat, Rice, Egg etc. Dawae Ghizai (Nutritious Drug): All substances, which are used mainly as drug but contains dietary constituents also. Like Mentha, Lettuce etc. Ghizai Dawae (Medicinal diet): All those substances, which are used as diet but they may be used as drug also. These things have more dietary constituents than drug constituents like Wheat, Gram, Egg Fish etc. Zulkhassa (Specific Drugs): This term is used in Tibb e-Unani from ancient time. This term means, which has particular action. It is used for those drugs, which act due to their Soorat Nau-eya unknowingly Sheikh Avecena has different explanation. The drugs act in three ways, Asar bil Kefiyat (effect by property), bil maadda (by matter), and bil joher (by active constituents). The drugs act by their property. Diets act by matter. Zulkhassa acts by active constituents with Soorat Nauyea unknowingly. Soorat Nauyea is particular combination of different constituents of certain compound. If this combination is changed by any means, the effects of drug are changed. So if a particular compound has similar constituents but arrangement is different, their effects will be different. The arrangement of atoms in a substance is responsible for its characteristic properties. For example, the atoms of paper and sugar are same, as diamond and graphite are same, but action of each is different. In this way we can understand that due to change in arrangement of constituent either in Single drug or in compound drug, their action will be different. They may possess same temperament or property but due to 2

different arrangement of constituents, may differ in action. As the drugs containing Mizaj (Temperament) Hot2 Dry2 are purgative, diuretic and anti-inflammatory etc. Like this other so many examples may be given. So due to change in arrangement, these drugs discharge different actions. It is concluded that arrangement of constituents in a drug is Soorat-eNau-eya, which is responsible for different actions.

Mizaj Adiva (Temperament of drugs)

When different basic molecules of different element come into contact at one place, they act and react. Their Kefiyat (quality) interact with each other in such a manner that a new Kefiyat (quality) emerges. This new and intermediate Kefiyat (quality) is called Mizaj. If we mix hot water into cold water it becomes moderate. Hot property and cold property act against each other and a new intermediate property emerges that will be neither so hot nor so cold in such extent as it was earlier. Elements: Ancient Philosophers has said that element may be divided in other molecules (Proton neutron etc) but when they will meat together, they will makes its original element like gold, silver oxygen. As the air, which was considered as an element in old days now it is proved that it is a combination of different other gases. Further more if an element is changed to such an extent that its arrangement is changed then todays element will not be an element of future. Number of elements: Ancients had different opinion regarding number of element. Some told that element is one and all the compounds are different forms of that. Some said that elements are two. Some told three. But most of Philosophers recommended four. There are so many arguments, which can be given in favour of four.

Degrees of Temperament
Due to difference in temperament of drugs, these are classified, so as appropriate drug for a disease may be given.

Dawae Haar, Barid, Motadil (Hot, Cold, Normal Drug)

Dawae Motadil (Normal drug): All those drugs, which are introduced in body, produce such kefiyat (quality), which is neither more nor less from body property. These drugs will not produce such effects, which are more or less than medically normal. Medically normal drug does not mean to have equal constituents in drug combination but it is related to normal in action. 62 63

Dawae Haar (Hot Drug): Those drugs, when introduced, produce hotness, which is more than normal hotness of body. Dawae Barid (Cold Drug): If by taking these drugs, coldness is produced more than normal. These drugs will be of cold temperament.

Classification criteria
All the drugs are divided in four groups. Criteria of classification is as follow. Drug should be used in particular dose. Drug should not be repeated. Drug should be used on normal body. Temperature should be normal because if hotness/coldness is a little more then hot/cold drug will produce more hotness/coldness as case may be. Advia Darja Avval (Ist degree): Those all drugs which produces more hot/cold property than normal but it does not seem in general condition but coldness/hotness may be felt locally or generally. Difference between Ist degree drug and moderate drugs: Moderate drug if given repeatedly, does not produce so much property (coldness/ hotness), which is more than normal. Ist degree drugs in repetition produce more property (coldness/hotness) than normal. Advia Darja Doem (IInd degree drugs): In this category all those drugs are described which at first time, produce such effects which can be assessed. But not so, that may alter the daily routine, such as food feeding, sleeping awaking and excretion retention. Advia Darja Soem (IIIrd degree drugs): In this category those drugs are described, which are introduced in normal body, at first instance alter daily routine like sleeping, hunger, passing stool etc. if these drugs are used repeatedly or in over dose, these may cause severe after effects. Advia Darja Chaharam (IVth degree drugs): Those all drugs, which produce acute effect. These drugs are also called poisonous drugs. These drugs have hot or cold property in IVth degree. So they act rapidly and if the dose is increased even a little, that can produce severe side effects. The degree, which is described here, have three sub degrees. As a drug may be hot in Ist degree initial intermediate and last. 64

It is very important to clear the difference between 4th degree, poisonous drugs and absolute Poison. Poisonous drugs according to unani Pharmacologist, act by their extreme hot or cold properties and even destroy the body functions, like smmulfar (Arsenic), Afiun (opium) etc. So these drugs are used generally after Tadbeer (detoxification). Absolute poison is such substance, which is not used medicinally. But now a days it is impossible to find such substance. Potassium synide is said to be absolute poison but in future there is a possibility to use that as drug.

Classification of Mizaj (Temperament)

1. Mizaj Ula (Primary Temperament): It is also called Tabaee (natural). It is that state of temperament, which is produced by action and reaction of primary constituents. Such drugs are called Mufradul Quva (Single power drug). Such drugs are rare or impossible to find. 2. Mizaj Sani (Secondary temperament): That temperament, which is produced by mixing those constituents, which already have primary temperament. The constituents of such drugs are a combination of those particles, which already have their own Temperament. These all drugs are called Morakkabul Quva (Compound power). As Revand Chini (Rheum palmatum), contains two different constituents, one from which is laxative, other constituent is constipative. Another example may be of milk, which is a combination of cheese, butter and water. These three constituents have their own Mizaj. As cheese has Hot and dry, butter has hot and moist and water has cold and moist. These three constituents remain on its own temperament respectively. And they can be separated. It is concluded that all things either from botanical, zoological or geological sources are Morakkabul Quva (compound power)

Classification of Mizaj Sani (Secondary Mizaj) / Morakkabul Quva

1. Mustehkam (Rigid) 2. Ghair Mustehkam (Flexible) 1. Mustehkam (Rigid): It is such property, which is obtained after actions of combination of constituents. Here, matters combination is so rigid that 65

constituents are not separable. As brass is combination of a particular ratio of Copper and Zinc, which have their own temperament. If these constituents are to be separated, they can not be. 2. Ghair Mustehkam (Flexible Temperament): It may be said Rikhv (loose) combination. It may be of three states. 1. Rikhv mutlaq: It is such type of combination, which is unbreakable, even boiling can not separate their constituents. If these are burnt, only then, they can be separated. As Baboona (Chamomile), when burnt, its two constituents having (resolvant and astringent) property may be separated. 2. Rikhv Jaddan (More flexible): Those drugs, which eliminate their constituents after boiling. As Masoor (lentil), when boiled in water eliminate its constituents having resolvant and astringent property. Resolvant acted constituent comes into water and astringent remains in cotyledons. 3. Rikhv baa Ifrat (Most flexible): It is such type of temperament in which constituents are separated by even after washing the drug as Mako (Solanum nigrum), kasni (Cichorium intybus). If these are washed, their active constituents, which are in trichomes of leaves, are destroyed. On these rigid and flexible binding of constituents, methods of uses are changed, so we use some drugs as in form of Joshanda (decoction), Khesanda (infusion), powder etc. Some constituents are soluble is alcohol and ether etc. It is evident from history that Hakeem used sharab (alcohol) as solvent for Khesanda.

Tarkeeb Advia (Composition of Drugs)

Tarkeeb Tabaee \Qudrati Tarkeeb (Natural Composition): All those drugs, which are, composed naturally, and produce single temperament. All the herbal animal mineral drugs have natural composition, these all are called Advia mufrida (single drugs). Compound drugs have more than one single drug, prepared either in laboratory or Pharmacy. Ashrab (syrups), Khameerajat etc, all are example of these drugs. Joher faal (Active Constituent): Those constituent, which dominate in their action for example Opium has several constituent but when Opium is given as drug its sedative action is due to its active principle Morphine.

Constituents of Drug
Following Constituents are present generally in Herbal and Animal drugs. 1. Lehem (Proteins): Various types of Proteins are present in Animal and Herbal drugs. 2. Namakyat (Salts): These are obtained generally after burning the herbs. Like, salt of Radish, salt of barley etc. 3. Turshiyan (Acids): These are found in sour fruits like Lemon, Tamarind, Pomegranate etc. 4. Shahem (Fats): All volatile oil and fixed oil contain fat, like Caster oil. Ghee, Sesame oil. Some fats are obtained from animals. 5. Ajzae Shakariyah (Carbohydrate): Obtained from herbs, like sugarcane etc. 6. Samaghiyat (Gums): These are dried latex obtained from herbs, like gum acacia, these are dissolved in water. 7. Ral (Resins): It is not dissolved in water but soluble in alcohol, for.ex. Mastic, Scamony. 8. Ratenaj Samaghi Dohni (Olio gum resin): Some are mixture of oil gum and resin. As Muqil, Laben 9. Ajzae Lon (Colouring matter): These are obtained from herbs like green from chlorophyll, red from flower of pomegranate, yellow from saffron etc. 10. Ajzae Booraqiya (Alkali): Some alkalis are obtained from herbs. Like sodium benzoic etc. 67

OOOOO

66

11. Joher Fa-al (Active Constituents): These are obtained from herbs like Morphine, Codeine from Opium, Strychnine from Nuxvomica, Glycyrrhizin from Licorice etc.

cardiovascular system etc. Some times dose may alter drugs effect as Camphor in low dose acts as aphrodisiac, but in large doses it acts as anapbrodisiac. Rubarb, in low dose acts as gastric tonic but in large dose, its first action is as purgative then constipation.

Taseerat Advia (effects of drugs)

During health or illness, the effects of drugs are produced. These may be of following type. Taseerate ula (Primary Effect): This is such effect, which occurs without metabolism of drug, refrigerant, tonicity and action of acid etc. Taseerate Saani (Secondary effect): These are produced after metabolism of drug. As the effect of Nitric acid on kidneys. Taseer bila vasta (direct effect): It effects in a particular organ or system. It may act in two ways. (A) Taseer qareeb (Near): It in produced at once. As Aconite and pyrethrum. Their effect as irritation on tongue occurs at once as they are touched to tongue. (B) Taseer baeed (Far): Their effects are after absorption and metabolism. Canthradin, when passes through kidneys, irritate them. Taseer Bil vasta (Indirect effects): These make their effects by nerves as aconite effects on heart. Beruni Asrat (External effect): When drugs are used externally, they produces these effects. Like mustard, produces irritation and redness on surface of skin, when applied locally. Oils produce relaxation. Some times drugs act, but not absorbed as some volatile oil, eucalyptus oil etc. Khususi Taseer (Particular effect): Some drugs produce different effects internally and externally. Onion, garlic mustard etc, which are rubefacient externally. When they are used internally, do not produce any irritation on gastric mucosa. Safeda Kashghari (Plumbi Carbon), when used externally produces no side effects, but internally produces sever side effects and even cause death. Coriender acts as resolvant against inflammation externally, but when used internally, increases these inflammations. Water has same effects on body either used externally or internally. There are so many drugs under this category, which have particular effects like drug acting on genital organ, liver, eye, central nervous system, 68

Advia ki Tabaee Khusiosiyat (Physical Characters of Drugs)

There are certain characters, which play important role to identify the drugs. There are certain characters to identify drugs in dried form, which are present in all drugs. These characters are colour, smell, taste consistency and weight. There are certain other qualities, which are not found in all drugs. These are evaporation, burn, solidification, dryness, resolution, crystallization sedimentation etc. We observe all external characters like colour smell taste consistency and weight to identify drugs . These can be understood easily. Some particular characters are discussed here. 1. Taseed (Evaporation): Some drugs have their property of evaporation. These drugs by getting heat evaporate in form of vapours. For example. Camphor, Mentha, Rose, Musk, Saffron, Laben etc. some drugs are used in vapor and condense form. Some drugs are used in form of smoke. 2. Tehreeq (Inflame): some drugs get inflamed by a just rubbing, as sulphur. Some drugs get inflame by combination with some other drugs as glycerin with potash. 3. Tazeeb (Melting): some drugs melt by heating, this heat may vary, like fats, Ghee, sulpur, mastic etc. 4. Tajmeed (Solidification): Some drugs become solid instead of melting when heated as egg yok. 5. Tajzeeb (Desiccation): Some drugs absorb water from atmosphere. Like sodium chloride and lime. 6. Tajfeef (Siccation): Some moisture containing drugs get dry by effect of heat. Some drugs lose their original characters after drying. As some volatile constituents contain drugs looses their smelling principle. Some time their colour and contour is also changed. 69

7. Tehleel (Solution): Drugs make their solution in particular solvent. As some drugs are desolved in water like salts etc, some in alcohol as resins, some in oils. Like camphor, sulphur etc. 8. Taqleem (Crystallization): Some drugs are changed in their form as crystals, as Raskapoor (Colomel), Dorchikna (Sodium hydroxide) 9. Tarseeb (Precipitation): Some drugs in liquid form, are mixed with other drugs, then they precipate, As egg yoke mixed in water then mix alum, which precipitate yok. 10. Khilna (Decomposition): some drugs absorb external moisture and gets decompose, like lime. 11. Tarkeeb (Composition): Some drugs make compound with other drugs. This process may be reversible or irreversible. Some drugs have their certain properties as apple turns black if left open after making pieces. Lime and caltachu get liquid when mixed. These all characters help to identify the drugs.

Identification of Unknown drugs

Qayas wa Tajurba (Hypothesis and Experiment/trial)
Qayas (Hypothesis): To establish a hypothesis on the basis of already known properties, regarding its action. Tajurba (Experiment/ Trial): After establishing the hypothesis, drug is used externally or internally and its effects are established. Ancient Philosophers and researchers adopted these methods to establish action, properties and temperament. In first phase drugs should be used on animals like rat, mice, rabbits dog, cat, monkey etc. then on human beings.

Factors for experiments/Trial

There are so many factors on the basis of which drugs may go under trial. 1. Ittifaq (by chance): In this situation a patient took such drug or diet by chance, which was not in his knowledge to be beneficial in his sufferings but he got relief. By this, he/some other person interested in research, worked on that drug and drugs particular effect was also established. 70

2. Melan Tabiyat (Interest): The patient got interested to eat a particular thing. He used such thing and got relief. Use of insects in ascitis is one example of this type of interest. 3. Jang, safer, Qehet (War, Travel and femine): In these conditions a human being some times uses such things which were unknown to him. So these conditions gave emergence of such thing which helped in curing diseases also. So sweat potato, Potato, Smilax and other many things were introduced. 4. Adavat, Dushmany (Revenge): Some poisons were established as drug, after using them to kill. By chance a person suffered to such disease, which was cured by taking that poison. So that poison became poisonous drug. Like Arsenic, lead, etc are beneficial in syphilis, chronic cough gout etc. 5. Ilham (Reveletion): some spiritual persons knew some things by their spirituality and they used that thing in a particular disease, which was beneficial and that became drug after experiments. 6. Ilqa: A person being helpless used some thing in particular disease believing, that will be beneficial. He used and got relief. That thing became drug. 7. Khuab (dream): Some times a patient of particular disease saw a dream, eating a particular thing and got relief. He ate and his disease was cured. That thing becomes a drug. 8. Dars hewani (Animals): Several animals use such thing or adopted such techniques, which relives their ailments. Such as enema was learned from a bird. So this actin is also called Amal Tair (Birds action). It is said that either Hippocrates or Galen saw a bird that was pouring sea water in his anus. After some time he passed stool and flew away. It is also said that a snake rubs their eyes on fennels leaves to tone up its eye power. It was tested and found these actions beneficial and adopted in human beings also.

Importance of Experiment/Trial
Qayas (hypothesis) is pre-stage of trial. Actual action is known by trial. If an unknown drug comes in contact that is only can be known by some previous knowledge. Some external features can lead towards its actions. Hypothesis and trial are complimentary to each other. As on the basis of 71

trial we establish results. In the light of these result we make hypothesis for other drugs. Qyas (Hypothesis): If hypothesis is made regarding a particular drugs in the light of already established facts, which are present in other drugs, as colour, smell, taste, consistency and weight. If these all or some of these characters are present in the drug, a hypothesis can be established. For example, Sandal safed (Santalum album) and Camphor (Cinnarmomum camphora) are white in colour. If we see another white coloured thing we can guess for its action, as we know already of white coloured things that may be Mufarreh (Refrigerants), Musakkin (Sedative). This guess may be confirmed by trial. Like this other characters may also be an example, as smell consistency etc. To establish hypothesis other things may help, like istehala (metabolism) hotness, coldness, air, water, fire, and light of sun. These make same changes in drugs. These changes are of two types.

1. Colour: It helps to establish an effect in the light of previous knowledge

regarding action of coloured drug. Result established on this basis is less reliable. 2. Smell: It can help to establish hypothesis, as if a drug contains good smell and possess sedative action and unknown drug has also such smell, it may help to conclude that this drug will have also sedative effects. It is said that drugs having pungent smell contain hot temperament, like garlic, onion, musk, saffron, clove etc. as hotness is needed to send the volatile constituents at the site of action i.e. smell center. So if the hot temperament constituents reach in body, will produce heat but there are some exemptions also as Camphor having pungent smell is cold and produces coldness in body. It is also less reliable but in comparison to colour it is more reliable. 3. Taste: All tastes, which are recognized, are in nine categories. 1. Hirreef, Tez charpara (Pepper): Filfil Siyah (Piper nigrum), Filfil safed (Piper album) 2. Murr, Talkh (Bitter): Chiraita (Swertia chiratta), Shahtra (Fumaria parviflora) 3. Maleh, Namkeem, Shor (Salty): Sodium Chloride and other salts. 4. Hamiz, Tursh, Khatta (Sour) Aloobukhara (Prunus domestica fruit), Lemon, Tamarind etc. 5. Afas, Kasela (Astringent) Mazoo (Quercus infectoria), Maieen (Tamarix gallica), 6. Qabiz (Astringent) Fofil (Areca nut) 7. Dasm, Charp, Chikna (oily) as oils. 8. Huluv, Sheereen, Meetha, (Sweet) like sugar, honey. 9. Maseekh, Pheeka (Tasteless): Like pure water. 1. Hirreef, Tez charpara (Pepper): Drugs, which contain such taste as mustard, onion, garlic, piper, pyrethrum etc., have following effects. A. Tafteehe urooq (Deobstruent): which relaxes the vessels and so obstruction may easily passes through. B. Talteef Mavad (Demulcent): These break the matter in pieces. C.Tarqeeq (Diluent): These liquefy the matter. D.Tehleel (Resolvant): Which resolves the inflammation. E. Taskheen (Calorific): It produces heat. 73

(A) Zahiri Tabdeeli (External Change) (B) Haqeeqi Tabdeeli (Compositional change)
(A) Zahiri Tabdeeli (External changes) are those which occurs in colour, taste, smell etc. (B) Haqeeqi Tabdeeli (Compositional changes) is that, which occurs in composition of drug. Generally external changes occur after the compositional changes, some times without change in composition, external changes occurs. There are certain conditions, which play important role. A drug melt due to little heat but other drug not, we conclude that a drug, which is melting, contains more hot temperament constituents and other drug contains less hot constituents. The drug, which may inflame outside the body, may produce more heat then others. After concluding this hypothesis, trial should be done, Haleela (Terminelia chebula fruit) becomes black when exposed to air after cutting in pieces and it is Qabiz Habis (Astringent). So other drug having same characters and having same action as qabiz habis (astringent) may be astringent.

72

2. Murr, Talkh, (bitter): like Aloe, Chiraita, Shahtra, Ustokhuddoos (Lavandula stoechas), Afsanteen etc. These contain following action. A. Tafteeh Urooq (Deobstruent). B. Tehleel Mavad (resolvant) C. Taskheen (Calorific) D. Talteef (Demulcent) E. Tarqeeq (liquefaction) F. Mane ufoohat (Antiseptic) 3. Maleh (Namkeem) (Salty): like salts etc. these have following action. A. Tafteeh Urooq (Deobstruent) B. Talteef (demulcent) C. Tehleel (resolvant) D. Taskheen (Calorific) E. Taqteeh mavad F. Mane uffoonat (anti septic) G. Jazib ratubat (Desiccant) 4. Hamiz, Tursh, Khatta (Sour): as Lemon, Aloobukhora (Prunus domestica), Amla (Emblica officinalis), unripe mango, Tamarind etc. These have following actions. A. Tufteeh (Deobstruent) B. Talteef (demulcent) C. Tarqeeq (Diluemt) D. Taqtee (cut in pieces) E. Tanfeez (Penitent) 5. Afas, Kasela (Astringent): like Mazoo (Quercus infectoria), Maieen (Tamarix gallica). These have following action. A. Radey (Divertive) B. Aasir (Shrinctrator) C. Maslab (Indurent) D. Maksaf (Condenser) E. Habis Qabiz (Astringent) F. Mukhashshan (Produces roughness)

74

6. Qabiz (Astringent): Areca nut, Kat (Acacia catechu), Mazoo etc. These drugs contain cold temperament. These have afas taste like action, but afas is more effective than Qabiz. 7. Dasm (Oily): All oils. These produces following action (A). Murattib (Humidative) B. Muraqaq (Dilluent) C. Murakhkhee (Emollient) d. Mulayyin (laxative) E. Munzij (Concoctive) 8. Huluv (Sweet) Sugar, Honey etc. these have following effect A. Jali (Detergent) B. Murarhkkee (Emollient) C. Mulayyin (Laxative), D. Muraqaq (Diluent) E. Musakhan (Calrorific) F. Munzij (Concoctive) 9. Maseekh (tasteless) like pure water. It acts as follow. A. Musakkin Hararat (febrile sedative) B. Musakkin atash (Thirst sedative) 4. Consistency: It also helps to know effects of drugs. Consistency is related to combination of matter, as the drug is volatile, mucilaginous or oily. Hypothesis is established on the basis of same consistency drug produces mucilage like Khatmi (Althea officinalis) and Khatmi is beneficial in dysentery so unknown drug may be beneficial in dysentery. There are many types of drugs according to consistency. 1. Dawae Kaseef (Condensed drug): The drug, which is unbreakable in small particles or the constituents easily and rapidly. These drugs effect slowly. As Heleelajat (Terminelia chebula), Balela (Terminelia blerica), and Amla (Emblica officinalis). 2. Dawae lateef (volatile drug): All those drugs, which break easily and rapidly in small particles or constituents and establish their effects, like Zafran (Crocus sativa), Musk, camphor (Cinnamomum camphora) etc. Like these drugs, diet is also classified as volatile or condensed. 75

3. Dawae lazaj (Sticky drugs): Those drugs, which accept other, shape and form of vessel in which they are stored, they have also property of stickiness, like Honey etc. 4. Dawae Hush (Brittle drugs): These drugs break in pieces on tonch or by rubbing, like Ghareeqoon (Polyporus officinalis), Elva (Aloe vera). 5. Dawae Jamid (Solid drugs): These are solid but get melt on heating. 6. Dawae Sayyal (Liquid): All those drugs, which are in liquid form, like oils, aqua etc. 7. Dawae Luabi (Mucilaginous drugs): If these drugs are soaked in water, they produce mucilage like Behidana (Pyrus cydonia Seeds), Samagh Arabi (Gum acacia) Aspghol (Plantago ovata seed). 8. Dawae Dohni (Oily drugs): These drugs contain oils either in cotyledens or seed coat, as Badam (Almond), Kunjud (Sesame) etc. 5. Vazan (Weight): Weight also help to establish the hypothesis, as some drugs acquire large place but has little weight as silk cocoon acquires large place but has little weight, on the other hand Mercury acquires little space but has much weight. Like gold, silver iron lead. If such thing which acquires large place and has less weight, it can be guess that drugs may act like other known drugs which are similar to that. Besides these properties, there are certain other related properties, which also help to know actions regarding that particular drug. As an astringent drug which acts on gut may act in internal bleeding.

Experiment/Trial
It is actual and correct way to reach at final decision of actions of drugs.

so many such examples, which make a clear difference in human and animals trial. 2. Drug should be free from external effects: As it should not be made hot or cold by applying heat or cold on them. 3. Drug should be used in different diseases: It will be more reliable comparative study, it will clear that a particular drug is more beneficial in a particular disease. Some times a drug is beneficial in hot and cold temperament disease, like kasni (Cichorium intyus), Saqmoonia (Convolulus scamony) are useful in phlegmatic disease and bile disease. These are called Morakkabul Quva (Compound of power). The drug should be used in different doses, different ages and in different seasons, so a clear picture may emerge. 4. Drugs should be used in single disease: If it is used in combined disease, result will not be clear that how and how much, this drugs is beneficial in particular disease. 5. Drug should be used according to severity of disease: If a drug with low degree temperament is used in severe degree disease, It is possible that results will not be accurate. On the other hand it is also possible that in mild disease, use of high degree temperament drug may cause other toxic effect or may be harmful. 6. Drug effects should be primary: If a drug has permanent properties then its effect will be immediate and long lasting. 7. Drug effects should be permanent and similar in similar condition: It should not be changed according to change in condition. To get better results some other factors also play an important role like identification, collection, preparation and storage of drugs etc.

Criteria for trial:

1. Subject should be human being: A hypothesized drug, after experiment on animals should be tested on human being. It should be finally proved after human trial. Because there is great difference between animal and human temperament, as it s said by a Philosopher Allama Sadeedi that Revand (Rhubarb) produces hotness in human beings but in horses, it produces coldness, like this a nut of almond produce profuse sweat in horses but in human being no such effect is produced. There are 76 OOOOO

Drug action on different Systems of body

There are various systems in our body. They discharge different functions. A group of drugs act on these systems as one unit. These may be discussed as follow.

Drug acting on CNS

CNS comprises different parts. We describe them in different headings. Aasab (Nerves): Generally drug acts on terminal fibres of nerves. These are of two types (i) Aasab Hissiya (Sensory) (ii) Aaseb Hirkiya (Motor) All drugs act on these in two ways (I) Muharrik (Stimulant) (II) Depressant (Sedative). Lazey (Irritant): The drugs stimulating the fibres are called Lazey (Irritant). By using these drugs locally vessels are dilated, blood circulation is increased, skin and epithelium is red, pain and irritation increases, for example Rai (Mustard) Lehsun (garlic) Sankhiya (Arsenic). Mukhaddir (Narcotic), Musakkin (Sedative):The drugs depressing the terminal fibres are called Mukhaddir (Narcotic) or Musakkin (Sedative). If these drugs are used locally relieves pain. Like Afiun (Opium), Beesh (Aconitum nepallus) and Luffah (Atropa belladonna). A. Aasab Hirkiya (Motor): On these, drugs also act as (I) Stimulant (II) Depressant. I. Stimulant: Drugs act as stimulant on terminal fibres of motor nerves, they reduce tenderness of muscles and organs are relaxed. These drugs are beneficial in kuzaz (Titanus). For example Luffah (Atropa belladonna), Datura (Datura Stramonium), Bazrulbanj (Hyoscyamus albus). B. Nukha (Spinal Cord): These drugs act on spinal cord in two ways (I) Muharrik (Stimulant) (II) Muzyif (Depressant) (I) Muharrik (Stimulant): Drugs stimulating spinal cord as Kuchla (Strychnos nuxvomica) and Sheelam (Ergot) these drugs may produce tremor and spasm in muscles. If there is paralysis in spinal cord or general paralysis of body, these drugs may be beneficial. (II) Muzyif (Depressant): Drugs which act as depressant may produce depression as Kafoor (Cinnamomum camphora), Sammulfar (Arsenic). 78

These drugs may produce relaxation in muscles. So they may be used in spasmodic condition. Opium produces stimulation followed by depression. B. Dimagh (Brain): Actions of drugs on brain are of two-type (I) Muharrik (Stimulant) (ii) Muzyif (Depressant) (I) Muharrik (Stimulant): These are of following types. (a) Advia Mohazzia (Hallucinogenic): Those drugs, which produce hallucinogenic effects. As Bhang (Cannabis sativa) (b) Advia Mufarriha (Refrigerant): These drugs act as stimulant and feeling of well beings as Kafoor (Cinnamomum camphora), Zafran (Crocus sativa), Musk etc. (II) Depressant: These produces depression and patients feel relaxation. These are of following type (i) Munavvim (Hypnotic): These produce relaxation and induce sleep. As Afiun (Opium), Khashkhash (opium seeds). (ii) Amumi Musakkinat (General sedative): These produce sedation. In power of sensation and feeling of pain in whole body becomes reduced, and relaxation occurs. As opium.

Drug acting on Badni Istihala (Body metabolism)

Metabolism is a process in which a matter is changed in other matters. It may call biotransformation, as when diet reaches in liver is changed into akhlat (humors). Body metabolism means that some matters in form of diet, drug, water and air reaching in bodys organs or other matters found in bodys organs, are affected by the bodys Hararat Ghareezi (internal energy) and changes takes place. These changes produce replacement to all parts of body, resulting all body powers are maintained. This process of metabolism works continuously and whenever its process is disturbed, problems arise. There are certain causes, which affect the metabolism. As any change in seven essential factors (food, drink, motion inertia of body, motion and inertia of 95

brain, sleep and awakeness, elemination and retention) Some drugs also make influence on these factors . So directly indirectly drugs act in three ways on metabolism. The drugs which, increase body metabolism. The drugs, which decrease body metabolism. The drugs, which maintain body metabolism on equilibrium state. Drugs, which increase metabolism, are called Advia Musakhkhina (Calorific), Advia Harra (Hot drugs) or Muharrikat Istihala (metabolism stimulant). There are two types of Muharrikat Istihala (Metabolism Stimulant). (1) Muqami Moharrikat Istihala (Local metabolism stimulant) (2) Amoomi Moharrikat Istihala (General metabolism stimulant) (1) Muqami Moharrikat Istihala (Local metabolism stimulant): By using these drugs local metabolism actions are increased and blood supply is increased. Local waste materials are eliminated rapidly. When high metabolism of a particular part is required then advia Musakhkhina are used. These increase vasodilatation and blood circulation so maximum nutrients may reach at that place and Quvvat Jazeba (absorption power) and Quvvat Mugheera (alterative power) may act well and waste material may be eliminated well. There are certain mechanism of action, which are as follow. (i) Munab-bitat sha-ar (Hair grower): These drugs act locally and increase blood supply and nutrition of roots of hairs. So hairs become dense and falling hair is inhibited. As Roghan Malkangni (Celestrus peniculatus oil), Roghan Gandum (wheat oil) etc. (ii) Musamminat Badan (Fattening agents): Some drugs make locally fatty to some body parts and that part, due to increased blood supply may get fatty. As Roghan Balsan (Balsam oil) and other liniment used on penis. (iii) Mohallilat Auram (Resolvant): Some drugs decrease inflammation and rigidity, by elimination of inflammation caused by certain matters. As Baboona (Chamomile), Nakhoona (Carum capticum), Kasni (Cichorium intybus), Mako (Solanum nigrum), in form of paste. (iv) Muqami Mojalliyat (local detergents): There become some spots locally due to disturbance in local nutrition as leucoderma or some black 96

spots, which may be cure by better nutrition in the body. As Aatrilal (Ammi majus), Aqirqarha (Anacylus pyrethrum) etc. These increase local nutrition and cure them. It is also possible that these drugs may eliminate the causative matter and cure them. 2. Amoomi Moharrikat Istihala (General Stimulating Agents): These are such drugs, which increase general metabolism and digestion of whole body, and nutrition is increased resulting, person gets fatty. These agents are also called Muqavviyat Amoomi (general tonics). These may be either diet or drug. So such agents are called (i) Amoomi Musakhkhinat (general calorific). These drugs, which tone up the nerves are called Muqavvie aasab (nervine tonics). Generally arsenic and nuxvomica compounds or liver tonic, cardiotonic, renal tonic, etc affects on general metabolism of body. 3. Muze-fat Istihala (metabolism depressant): Some drugs decrease the metabolism activity. These are generally Advia barida (Cold drugs) or Advia Mubrida (Frigorific). (i) Muqami Muze-fat Istihala (Local metabolism depressant agents): Such drugs decrease blood circulation, nutrition, digestion and absorption of that place locally. Vessels become constricted locally. Hotness is reduced and coldness is increased. These all drugs are astringent. (ii) Amoomi Muzi-efat Istihala (General enervating agents): These drugs in general decrease blood circulation and so general nutrition is decrease and weakness occurs. These drugs play an important role to cure diseases, where function of whole body or part is increased than normal. As in kuzaz (Titanus), astringent cold drug like Opium is used to reduce tremors. In fever coldness is used either internally or externally. There are some other conditions also where, these drugs increase or decrease metabolism and particular changes occur in the body. Some drugs produce changes in blood and cure many diseases and normal condition in body take place. These all drugs are called Mo-addilat (Normalisor). Drugs, which eliminate fasid mavad (Toxic matters) and other disease producing matters are called Musaffiyat Dam (Blood purifier). Generally to eliminate toxic matters, they are changed in such state they are eliminated easily. This process of preparation, to eliminate is called 97

Nuzuj (concoction) and drugs are called Munzijat (Concoctive). Some drugs increase nutrition tremendously. Which are called Akseer badan (Refrigerants), as Sankhyia (Arsenic), Bhelawan (Dhobi nut) etc. These drugs are discussed, as here in detail. (1) Musaffiyat Dam (Blood purifier): These drugs eliminate the toxic matters, waste products and putrificated material through urine, stool and sweat. These drugs are Mundi (Sphaeranthus indicus) Chiraita (Swertia chiratta), Shahtra (Fumaria parviflora), Gul Neem (Margosa flowers). Some times Mercury and Arsenic preparations are used to eliminate syphilitic matter produced in body (2) Munzijat (Concoctive): Munzijat is plural of Nuzuj. Nuzuj means to ripen. It may be explained as the drugs, which make matter, able to eliminate from body. In other words these drugs makes certain changes in humors to eliminate them from body. Humors if they are condense and sticky, they can not be eliminated, then such drugs are used so that humor becomes liquid and non-sticky as honey. In this form they are easily eliminated. As Sikanjbeen, Maul Asl etc. If matter is so liquid that it will be reabsorbed in body and will cause harmful effects, then it should be made thick to eliminate and to inhibit reabsorption. 3. Akseer badan (Refrigerants): All those drug either single or compound, which stimulate Aazai Raisa (Vital organs) and revitalise their function, are called Refrigerants. As Kuchla (Nuxvomica), Sankhiya (Arsenic) etc. 4. Tiryaqat Samoom (Antidotes): Antidotes also affect the body metabolism. These act against poison or toxins externally or internally. We discuss them in detail. (i) Samme-Mutlaq (Absolute poisons): Those agents, which act by their Soorat Nau-eya (arrangement of compound), alter the function and cause death. These act unknowingly and their mechanism of action is not clear. In Unani Medicine, there is no such agent which can be put under this category but recently potassium cyanide is said that it may be such type of agent, but mechanism of action of potassium cyanide is some how known. (ii) Dawae Sammi (Poisonous drug): Those drugs, which have either extraordinary hot / cold quality and make severe functional / structural 98

disturbances and severe responses may occur. As Beesh (Aconite), Afiun (Opium), Bazrul banj (Hyoscyamus), Kuchla (Nuxvomica).

Fadzeher, Tiryaq (Antidote)

Substances that counter act to poisons. Jadwar (Delphinium denudatum) is single drug. Tiryaq Farooq, Tiryaq Samania, Tiryaq arbaa, Tiryaq afa-ee are compound drugs. Mechanism of action of antidote is explained as, when it reaches in blood, it changes arrangement of poison and so weakens the power of action of poison. As if poisons are acidic and antidote is alkaline, it will change the media of drug and drugs will change into salt. Jadwar also make some constituent of Aconite inert. Someantidotes do not act directly on poisons but inhibit their some process as in case of arsenic poisoning, Ghee in given orally, so it inhibit the absorption from gut and its severity become less active. It acts as antidote to arsenic. If ghee is given in case of Opium poisoning, it will increase its absorption and instead of inhibiting action of Opium, it will increase the action of Opium and severe effects may occur. Drugs acting on disease producing matter:Some drug act on particular disease producing matter. As Cinchona affects on seasonal fever, Colchicum for arthritis and gout, so according to their actions drugs are classified in different group as antiseptic action against sepsis producing matter. But this group of drug is sub divided, as some drugs are effective against the sepsis due to Phlegm or melancholia or bile. These act according to their particular arrangement of drugs. As some drugs like Solanum nigrum and Cichorium intybus act against hepatitis. Drug acting on Parasites: Parasites take nutrition from others. These may be out or inside body. Inside body parasites are intestinal worms. Out side body parasites are lice in hairs. Sulphur, Antimony etc are used for lice.

Drugs acting on Body Temperature

The energy or heat, produced in our body is Hararat Ghareezi (Internal energy), which is called Unsuri Hararat (elemental energy). This energy is generally remains normal and all functions are performed normally. There may be some how difference in the organ temperature, but that temperature will be normal for that organ, as temperature of mouth is 96.80 F, in armpit it is decreased. There may also be a change in morning and evening temperature. In morning is slightly low and in noon slightly raised. If this temperature is increased extraordinary from normal, it is called Hararat ghareeba (Abnormal temperature), which is abnormal temperature, and it may be fever. Fever is abnormal condition. Some drugs increase body temperature and some drugs reduces body temperature. These drugs are as follows. 1. Musakhkhinat (Calorific): All those drugs, which increase body temperature, have been discussed in chapter drug acting on skin. 2. Advia Mubrida (Frigorific): An agent that generates coldness. These also act externally and internally as ice, cold water produce coldness externally. Some are given internally and they produce coldness internally as antipyretics etc. Some volatile drugs also produce cooling as Sirka (Acetic acid), Camphor, Eucalyptus oil etc. Some drugs act antiseptics and reduce temperature due to infection. As Arsenic, Afsanteen, Gilo (Tilifora indica), Atees (Aconitum heterophyllum) etc. Dafe Huma (Antipyretic): These are of following type. Mubardat khafeefa (Light Antipyretic) Mubardat shadida (Strong Antipyretic) Mubradat khafeefa (Light antipyretics): These drugs are used generally in fevers. These are not used to reduce temperature but to save from complication. As Luab Aspghol (Plantago ovata mucilage), Luab Behidana (Pyrus cydonia seed mucilage), Aab Khayaren (Cucumber Juice) etc. Mubarrdat Shadeed (Strong antipyretic): If there is high fever, these drugs are used to reduce temperature. But due to sudden fall of fever may be some times harmful. Some times these drugs may produce toxic effects. These drugs are compound of Arsenic, sulphur, Mercury, Karnjwa 100

(Cecelpinia bonducella) Alum etc. There are some external measures, which are used to reduce fever. Cool the patients room air. Use cold water, ice water as needed to reduce fever. It may be in different form like sponging, covering with wet sheet, wet cotton /cloth on head or body. Keep patient in cold water tub etc. Zimad (paste), Tila (Liniment), Nutool (Irrigation) may be used to reduce fever. As use of liniment of Aab Lemon (lemon Juice) or Aab Kahu (Lettuce juice), Aab khurfa (Portulaca olioracea juice), Camphor, etc on chest and abdomen. If patient is getting sweat already then these measures should be avoided.

Masalik Advia (Routes of administration of drug)

The drugs, which are introduced in the body either internally or externally, are in different form. These are introduced by different route to obtain maximum effects. There are natural openings in the body. Like oral cavity anal opening, urethral opening, ear, nose, etc. Drugs acting on these parts or on general body administered by these routes. Some times unnatural route is adopted like by injection or by making cut in the body. There are two ways. 1. Dakhili (Internally) 2. Khariji (Externally) 1. Dakhili (Internally): Some drugs are used internally. They are used either by mouth or by any other route in side the body. 2. Khariji (Externally): Some drugs are used externally. They are used on external surface of skin. They act locally. Natural Passages: Generally in Unani system of medicine drugs are used through natural routes. These are as follow. 1. Barahe Dahen (Orally): Generally most of drugs are introduced through this route, which are used for the effects on whole body. All the edibles and drinks are taken by this passage, pills, tablets, powder, majun Jawarish, Itrifal, syrups are given through this route. 2. Barah mubraj (By Anus): By this route drugs are used in three form (i) Hamool, Shaffa (Vaginal passeries) (ii) Huqna (Enema) (iii) Tila wa Zaroor (Liniment and dusting powder) Drugs are used by this route, in such condition, when patient is not in position to take the drugs by month or the effect is required in neighbouring parts of large intestine. The conditions may be as follow. If there is such disease or there is problem in ingestion through mouth or there is such lesion or problem to swallow, drug may be given by this route. If there is severe vomiting and drugs or any thing is not acceptable through 113

C. Advia Bukharia or Hawaiya (Gaseous drugs): There

are certain drugs which may be either in solid or liquid form but when, they are used, changed their form and become in vapours or gaseous state. As some drugs are used in form of fume, vapours. these are of following types. 1. Bakhoor, Dhooni (Fumigation): Some drugs are burnt and their smoke is introduced to a particular place. This is also called Tadkheen, or Tabkheer. 2. Inkabab, Bhapara (Vapourbath): Some drugs or simply water is boiled and their vapours are introduced to a part or whole body. 3. Shamoom (Olfaction or smell): The drug, which is smelled and its volatile constituents reaches to nose. 4. Lakhlakha (Inhalation): These are either watery or solid drugs, which are kept is a wide month container or bottle and smell reaches not only to the nose but air passage also.

OOOOO

112

mouth. Drug is to be used for local action in anus or large intestine. If drug is introduced for the effect on uterus or on other neighboring parts. Like enema to increase labor pain. 3. Barahe Majari Hawaiya (Air passage): Drugs are used by this route, act on from nose to alveoli. These drugs are given either in form of fume or inhalation. There are some drugs, which are in liquid or powder form, used through nose. Some times shyaf anaf is also used. But generally inhalations are used. 4. Barahe-Ain (Eye): Generally, through this rout, unani drugs are used either in powder or liquid form. Shayafat, Kohl, powder, Qatoor, are used. 5. Barahe Uzn (Ear): The drugs, used by this route reach to the tympanic membrane. So the drugs are used as sedative or emollient. As Shyaf Uzn, Zaroor, etc are given by this passage. 6. Bara he Ahleel (Urethral orifice): Some drugs are given by this route by adopting appropriate catheter. Some shyaf are also used.

Manafiz ghair Tabae (Artificial passage): Some drugs in allopathic stream are given by injection. In unani system, drugs are not used by this route. In old days, a particular method was used. A cut was made in skin and then drug powder or in other form, drug was filled and sealed. Now days this method is also not in use. Advia Kharija (External Drugs): Some drugs are used externally. This route is used either for local action or for action on some neighbouring parts. There are used in two ways. Some times these drugs are used very gently. Tila, Ghaza, Zimad, Abzan etc. Some drugs are used on body and massaged. So they penetrate inside the skin. As Masooh, Ubtan, Dalak etc. OOOOO 114

Dawaon Ka Husool Aur Hifazat (Collection and Storage of Drugs)

The drugs play vital role to fight against diseases in human life. So drugs authenticity is a valuable factor, which affects on the action of drug. If a drug is not authentic or substandard, appropriate results will not be obtained. For authenticity of drug, cultivation method, collection and storage have their significant role. For an authentic drug, its properties should be on its normal value. Its physical properties (colour, smell, taste, consistency and weight) should be normal. If there is change in all or either one property, drugs internal property as constituents and even bio-action will alter. It is impossible to cultivate the all herbal drugs. So the drugs are mainly obtained from wild plants. Animal drugs are obtained from animals either wild or pet. All minerals are found naturally if they are produced artificially, their authenticity must be established. Drugs from different parts of world may differ due to their place of origin, Habitat, Environment etc. A drug obtained from china may differ from India. Like this other example of flower, fruits may be given. Even these factor influence on different places in same country also. In Unani Ilmul Advia (Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy), some special patterns have been adopted as particular name have been indicated for particular drugs. Like Sabr saqootri (Scotrin aloe), Afsanteen Roomi (Rome absynthium) Senna makki (Arabian Senna) Revand Chini (China Rhubarb etc.) When collection is made for authentic drugs, it is essential to care about keeping in view its origins, collecting time, as the collection time and season have great influence on the effectiveness of drug. Some instructions are given regarding collection of different part of plants or animal organs or minerals for optimum benefit. Flowers and leaves: These should be collected when they are fully established and complete. If the immature buds and leaves are to be used, they should be collected before maturing. 115

Seeds and Fruits: These should be collected when they are fully ripped and they fell themselves. If unripe fruits like unripe Mango, unripe Papaya are to be used, they should be collected before ripening. Ripe fruits should not fell on the ground but they should be collected when they are attached to stem/ branch. Roots: These should be collected, when plants have attained its maturity and before fruiting. So that root may contain maximum active constituents. Branches and barks: These should be collected in spring season, when they are fresh. Plants material should not be collected from dry plants or diseased plants. Herbs: Herbs either on ground or erect should be fresh, with flower fruits and other all parts. Generally these are used as whole herb. Balm, Tribulus, etc are collected in this manner. Gums, Latex etc: These should be collected, when the flowers are falling. There should be collected before sun rises or after sun set. The sun heat plays important role to alter the constituent in some products. Like some secretion are obtained in afternoon. As Opium. Gums should be collected before they break up in pieces. It is better to collect entire lump. Animal Drugs: Animal drugs generally obtained from young and complete animals. As Zuhra Gao (gall bladder of cow), Neesh aqrab (Scorpion sting) Uroosak, Qarnul Ayyal (Stag horn) etc. Some animal drugs are obtained from either child animal or old like chicken soup or old chicken soup is obtained as needed.

Some agents if preserved in sugar solution or honey, may be used for a long time. Like murabbajat etc. Animal drugs like brains, gall bladders, and other parts of body are preserved in honey. All drugs should be kept away from moisture, hot sun, dust etc. If vessels are of metals like copper and other, they should be lead coated, other wise drugs should not be preserved in those vessels. One drug should be stored in one vessel only. Drugs should not be stored in cloth or jute bags. Compound drugs like pills, tablets, powders may be stored in lead coated vessels, if salt is not an ingredient in them.

OOOOO

Drug storage
Proper drug storage is an important factor regarding efficacy of drug. All fresh herbal or animal drugs are not available round the year. So proper storage is important. Following are some important methods by which drug may be stored. All the drugs containing volatile constituent should be stored in airtight containers so that their volatile constituents may remain exist. Like Mentha, Jatamansi, Rose, Camphor etc. All liquid or watery drugs like Aqua Rosa, Aqua kewra, or semi solid drugs like Majun, Jawarish should be kept in cold places so that they are inhabited from fermentation. 116

117

Aamar-e-Advia (Utilization period of drugs)

The drugs have their particular constituents. If they are stored property, efficacy remains for a particular time, other wise they loose their efficacy. Some drugs retain their efficacy for a long time. But instead of proper storage they loose their efficacy due to their constituents arrangement. All volatile oil containing drugs loose their volatile constituents easily in a short time. Other drugs as some latex like Opium, Ferfium (Cactus latex) remain on their actual arrangement for a long period. This duration of use also affected by means of storage also. To determine exact duration of use is impossible but some characteristics (colour, smell, taste etc) are changed, So their efficacy and time will become less. Herbal drug: This is main source of drugs and about 90% of drugs are obtained from this source. Different parts of plants are used medicinally. We discuss them under different headings. (i) Root branches, barks: On these parts of plant, pests attack very soon. So if pests attack them, they s1hould not be used. If these are not detoriated, then may be used for one year as Glycyrrhiza, Ginger, and Zedoary etc. some drugs are not attacked by pests. These may be used for about 5 years. As Darunaj (Doronicum hookrii), Cinnarmomum, Gentian etc. Leaves: Leaves may be used for one to two years if stored properly. Senna leaves Neem leaves etc. Buds and flowers: These may be used for 1-2 years, if they have not lost their volatile oil, they contain. Borago flowers, Rose flower, Clove, Hyssopus flower etc. Fruits: Fresh fruits are used only 1-2 week. Some fruits may be used for few days if not preserved properly. If these are stored in proper way like, in form of murabba may be used for one year. Dry fruits: Fruit may be either with or without oil. Oil containing fruits may be used for one year if they are in their seed coat as Almond, Coconut, Which dont contain oil, may be used for one year. Like, Aaloo Bukhara 118

(Prunus domestica fruit), Cardamom etc. Seeds: Seeds containing oil may be used for 1-2 year but in long run their oil contents become less. Seeds not containing oil may be used for 1-2 years. As Cumin, Sesame seeds Cucumber seeds etc. Oil: Generally oils are used for two years. Sesame oil, olive oil, balsam oil may be used for a long period. As how much it gets old, efficacy increases. Gums: Gum may be used for three year. Like Gum Acacia, Dragon blood etc. Extracts: Extracts may be used for less then three years. Aqaqia (Acacia extract), Rasaut (Barberry extract), Rubbussus (Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) etc. Dried Juice Latex: There are different periods for some particular dried latex. As Scamonys age is for about twenty years, Farfun;s (Cactus latex) age is more than 20 years, Opium may be used for about 30 years. Minerals: This source also plays important role to provide drugs to cure diseases. In this source all the metals, stones, and other certain type of clays are included. As gold, silver, iron, copper etc are Zavil ajsad (metals). Sulphur, Mercury, Arsenic etc. are Zavil arvah (non-metals), which evaporate on heating. Diamond, Ruby etc are from stones. Zavil ajsad (Metal): Different metals are used for different period. Some metals are destroyed, when exposed to air and moisture as iron gets rusted, when exposed to water and air. Air and moisture do not affect gold, silver. They are used for a long period. Zavil arvah (Non Metal): Sulphur, Mercury, arsenic is from this category they are used for less time then metals. Stones and Clays: Stones are used for a long period. Diamond, Ruby has indefinite time of age. Gilearmani (Arminium bole) Gile-Makhtoom (Makhtoom clay) may be used for long period. Animal drugs: This source has less number of drugs. Fats if preserved with salt may be used for one year. Animals gall bladder (dried) may be used for 4-5 years. If earthworms are kept in dry form may be used for 2 years. Musk, Castorium may be used for 5-10 years, if their smell remain exist. Pearl and Shell may be used till they are bright naturally. OOOOO 119

Abdal Advia (Alternatives of Drugs)

Some times drugs are used as alternative to other. There are certain conditions when alternative drugs are used. Availability: Drug is not available or obtainable Too expensive: If drug is so costly that generally public can not afford. Toxicity: If the toxicity is more and benefits are less even after detoxification, alternative of drug is used. Possible factor for alternative drugs Similar Mizaj (Temperament) Similar Physical properties Similar mechanism of action 1. Similar Temperament: Some drugs may be used as alternative to the main drug. If drug containing hot and dry temperament is purgative as Senna, it may be replaced with other drug Shehm hanzal, which is also purgative. But this criteria is not authentic criteria or sole criteria, which may decide the alternative theory. As it is clear by trials that due to similar temperament drugs act in different ways or have different efficacy of action. But on the other hand due to difference in Mizaj (Temperament), drugs discharge similar action as Amla (Emblica officinalis) is cold and dry is alternative of Asarun which is hot and dry. These also differ in action but on the gums they have same effect. There are many other example which may/may not be alternative of drugs. So on the basis of Mizaj, theory of alternative is not sure and authentic. 2. Physical Properties: The Physical properties as colour smell taste, weight and other properties may be fundamental requirement of alternative. But it is less authentic in comparison to Mizaj. As white colour drugs does not have same Mizaj or same action. Like this other Physical properties may be considered. As white coloured drugs are sedative as well as stimulant. 3. Similarity in Action: As the drug is given to cure diseases. So all those drugs which are similar in action in respect to their constituents may 120

be alternative as Shell and Pearl have similar actions. On the basis of their constituents they may be alternative for each other. It is also possible that some actions are similar as suppose purgation, but in other action may different so they will antagonise. It is due to their structural difference or arrangement of drugs, as Badranjboya is alternative of Absresham in cardiac disease, but for eye ailments it is not alternative. Zakaria Razi has discussed, drug action and mechanism for Alternative, So the Alternative of drug should be selected very carefully.

Muzir aur Musleh (Side effects and Correctives)

There is a variation of Mizaj in every thing found in universe. It may vary drug to drugs, person to person, city to city, season to season and so on. A drug given in a particular season or environment, if given in other season, may cause harm. If a cold drug is given to a patient having cold temperament may cause harm. Diets may also cause benefits or harms on the basis of Mizaj or other state of patients. It is impossible to believe that a drug will be beneficial and will not harm. Instead of this a drug, which is beneficial, may cause side effects. Like this if the drug is less beneficial will cause least harm and vise versa. When drugs cause harmful effects the harmful effects are to be reduced or minimized. For this purpose we use some particular measures. Mudabbar (detoxification): Some times drugs are used after passing them through some particular process that may be in certain forms. As we fry some drugs like alum. We burn some drugs like Scorpion sting, Snake, Scorpion, crab etc. Some drugs are mixed with some oils. Some drugs are detoxified. These drugs loose their harmful constituents or cause least harms after detoxification. Change in Route of administration: If the route of administration of certain drugs is changed, then they will be less harmful. As if a drug is emetic may be given by other route. 121

Combination: Some times, some other drugs are included with the drugs, so that they reduce its side effects. Such drug is called Musleh (Corrective) These correctives may work in following way: Less concentration: Some drugs are diluted and so their harmful effect may be reduced. Like any concentrated acid, if given is dilute form may cause less harm. If sulphur containing drugs are to be given and they are prone to produce stone, give large quantity of water so that they will not produce any stone. Change in temperaments: Some drugs alter temperament of other drug and make them less harmful as use of alkali against acids. Some drugs do not effect on drug itself but act on different part of body which have been affected. As Opium, Hyoscyamus etc. relieve pain but weakens heart. In response to these drugs, some other drugs, which act on the heart, are used. As Abresham (Silk Cocoon), Doronicum, Musk, Saffron etc. If drugs are used as laxative and cause irritation in intestine, add some mucilaginous drugs to reduce this irritation. If some drugs are given as haemostatic and produce constipation, some laxative may be given. If drugs are combined carefully, some correctives give better result with reduced side effects may be achieved.
